Ok, it’s no wonder I was feeling sick about my last weekly spending report… I haven’t had a budget go this wrong in a long, long time! But that’s why I’m back on track with budgeting and tracking my daily spending…

I know that it’s not always easy to budget / save for the holidays. If you’re like me, you wish you could give a meaningful gift to everyone you know. Unfortunately, we can only stretch our budgets so far… which is why I’ve decided to try and help.

As of Wednesday, I have been a resident of Toronto for one month. That’s one month of unpacking, settling in, getting started at work , making my way around the city and trying as many restaurants as my budget will allow. But now, I’m going home!

This week, I got to eat a number of delicious meals all over the city. From the Trio Beet & Goat Cheese Salad at Lil Baci’s, to Belgian waffles at Le Petit Déjeuner, every bite was good and I don’t regret a penny spent!
